Test Your Karma with SanDisk Sansa MP3 Player.
I used couple of mp3 players so far. m:robe, 2 RCA players, iPod - But SanDisk Sansa was my favorite player. It is lightweight, tuff, 2GB with inbuilt radio. I let it fall number of times, never baby it - even I recommend that to others - it works perfect until yesterday.
When I was transferring files yesterday, USB cable got disconnected in the middle and I noticed there were two corrupted files because of interrupted data transfer. But I left the files alone and copied rest of the file. Restart the player. It starts with SanDisk logo with 'Initializing' message - but keeps on looping around the same start-up screen after that. Connect back to USB - but it was same. The computer even does not recognize the player any more.
Then I noticed what happened. The player could not read the corrupted file. Instead of ignore those corrupted files, it restarts the system. Next I did exactly same thing every one else do. Google!
I'm not the only one face this problem. Almost every one unfortunate enough to buy a SanDisk Sansa eventually face this problem.
Looking at the bright side of loosing 9000Rs (89$) I thought this is a good way to decide your Karma. It is like Russian rootlet. Keep on copying mp3 files in to SanDisk Sansa until you copy the corrupted file that will kill the player on the spot. Depending on time you use the player, you can see how much good Karma you have. I use the player like 3 months - so I guess I don't have much of good Karma left. Need to do something about it.

OOPS, I bought a Sansa player , a 4GB one and absolutely love it. Using it for the past 6 months and so far no isues at all. Guess i have to be a bit more careful with it. Seems like my karma is a bit longer ;-)
I got one as a gift,1gb player, works good for me. The same thing happened to me, corrupt file caused my laptop not to recognise the player. After reinstalling ur XP it worked fine. Need to be more careful i suppose. either if could be this or u've got some serious problem.
Quite late comment - but hope it would be useful,
I bought a SanDisk USB drive about 5 years back from singapore. After about 8 months of use - it stopped being detected by the PC. I did all the tricks with no luck.
After 8 months I didn't had a bill no nothing to prove i bought it. Didn't even register it. I even had scratches on it. But I just sent an email to san disk customer care. They sent me a mail asking to try the usual crap. When I told them it didn't work they wanted me to post the product to them. And by the 3rd week, I received a brand new USB drive.
No need to say, I buy Sandisk ever since.
Try that - karma won't be that bad.
